It can be measured in any unit of measurement.
*Edit: Remember that volume can be in any unit but it has to be cubed.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
For an irregular shaped object that cannot be measured and then volume calculated with a formula.
A ruler or other measuring instrument may be used to determine the dimensions of a regularly shaped abject, and the volume may then be calculated by applying the dimensions to the applicable formula.
Objects such as liquids, gases, and irregularly shaped solids are typically measured in volume. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object and is commonly measured in units like liters or cubic centimeters.
Volume can be measured in various ways depending on the object being measured. For regular-shaped objects, volume can be calculated using mathematical formulas based on dimensions such as length, width, and height. For irregular-shaped objects, volume can be measured by displacement, where the object is submerged in a liquid and the volume of liquid displaced is measured. Specialized equipment like graduated cylinders, beakers, or volumetric flasks can also be used to directly measure liquid volumes.
Because some objects have an irregular shape, therefore cannot be measured like a square could.
Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
To calculate the volume of a regularly shaped object, you typically need to know its dimensions such as length, width, and height, and then use the appropriate formula for that shape. For example, the volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length, width, and height of the cube. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
The water displacement method is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects. This method is not necessary for regularly shaped objects whose volume can be easily calculated using geometric formulas. Irregularly shaped objects do not have a straightforward formula for volume calculation, hence the need for the water displacement method.
A common tool used to measure the volume of solids is a graduated cylinder or a beaker for regularly shaped solids. For irregularly shaped solids, displacement method using a measuring cylinder and water can be used to find the volume.
For mass, you would use a triple-beam balance. For volume, you would either use a graduated cylinder (for liquids), calculate the displacement with a graduated cylinder (for an odd-shaped solid), or calculate it using the equation for volume (for a regularly-shaped solid).
Volume is measured in decibals.
